Our story should begin with Bob and Joe.
But we will get to them soon. We open our
story with the Queen of England...
CHAPTER ONE: THE QUEENS
DECISION
Once upon a time, in the Queens palace in
England, Queen Person III was looking
things up. “Maids!” She suddenly called to
her maids, “See this here?” The queen held
up her phone and the maid saw it was on
Wikipedia. The article said, 'To get to the
recipe for the most perfectly wonderful
pancakes of all time, you must go to the
unknown lands and find the carefully
guarded stone tablet, of which it was written
on.' “Yes...” Her maid replied. “Well, I have
decided to draw a random name out of a hat
and order them to find me the perfect
recipe!” Person III said. “Very well,” The
maid advised, “But don't write absurd names
that no one will have, or else you will not
get the help you need.”

CHAPTER TWO: THE QUEEN FINDS JOE
“I have here, in this hat...” The queen announced
in front of all of England the next morning on her
balcony, “...Names. If I call your name, please
speak up. The chosen one will go into many
dangers to find me the perfect pancake recipe.
All right, here is the winning name:... JOE!”
There was silence. Nobody spoke up. “Is
ANYONE here named Joe?!?” The queen asked.
Everybody was still silent. “Very well. I shall
have to ask around in other countries if anyone
wants to find the recipe for me. In the meantime,
name your babies Joe, for crying out loud!
Sheesh...” She walked away.
“Is anyone named Joe?” The queen asked in
Germany, Australia, Columbia, and all of the
other 191 countries in the world. All times, she
met with silence. But then she remembered one
other country: The USA! She immediately
rushed over and, in front of all the people, said,
“IS ANYONE HERE NAMED JOE?” She met
with silence, again. “Alright, I guess I'll have to
draw another name...” She grumbled, stalking

off. But then... “Wait! Sorry I'm late! I'm here
your majesty—sir—ma'am—queen! I am Joe!
I can take your quest!” Joe shouted, still in
Greasetime work clothes. The queen turned
around, surprised. “Why... really? Your name is
JOE? Why, the only Joe in the world! So
unique! But are you sure you would like to
take me up on my offer for a quest? I mean, it
is very hard! You may die! But anyway, I'm so
glad you are going to take me up! I don't care
if you die.” “Why, I'm ready for anything!
Heck, I've gone to the moon! When do I start?”

CHAPTER THREE: CONVINCING BOB
"Really, Bob! I really DID get a quest request
from the queen of England! Why don't you
believe me???" Joe was talking to Bob, who was
laughing on the floor. "Oh, I don't know..." Bob
answered in a sarcastic tone, "Maybe because
she DIDN'T?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-
hahahahaha!!" Grrrrrrr! Joe was really angry
now. "I'll show you!" He shouted at Bob, "I'm
going to Call the queen of England! "Yeah,
right!" Laughed Bob, as Joe punched numbers
into the phone. "Hello?" Joe was saying into the
phone, "This is Joe... Hmm? I'm the Joe that is
going on your quest, remember? Who is
this???...What? The Queen of Australia? Oops,
wrong number. Sorry." Joe was mad as can be
now with Bob laughing all over the floor. The
doorbell rang. Joe opened it. "Hello, Joe. I'm
here to say your quest begins tomorrow. Having
trouble? Goodbye." Queen Person III closed the
door. Joe looked at bob, a smug smile on his
face. Bob's mouth was hanging open. "I told
you." said Joe.

CHAPTER FOUR: THE QUEST BEGINS
After Joe finally convinced Bob that the Queen
of England had given him a quest request, they
were ready to begin. Joe had the Queen's map
in one hand, and his lucky stuffed cow in the
other. Bob was tagging along because he had
nothing else to do. "Alright, Bob!" Joe was
saying, looking at the map, "we go two miles
eastward, one mile back, three miles westward,
and then two miles back. Easy enough!" Doing
that took all day because Bob needed food
every three minutes. But finally, they stopped
for camp.
5
Proof Reading
(camp was two feet from their house) Joe set up
his tent, which was nothing special, and Bob set
up a giant bounce house which he planned on
staying in. They lit a fire, cooked their food,
(except Bob, who was quite full) and tried to go
to sleep. I say try, because Bob was bouncing all
night long. Joe finally drifted off at one point,
and then it was morning.
Joe came out of his tent, and the first thing he
noticed was that the bounce house was gone.
Then he noticed Bob, looking bigger than usual
and his eyes wide open looking like he hadn't
slept a wink last night, right smack in the middle
of camp.
Joe
looked
very tiny
compared
to Bob.
6
Proof Reading
Suddenly, Bob barfed all over Joe, and the
bounce house came with it! Joe didn't really
mind, because he liked to bounce on deflated
heavy-duty nylon and cow vomit.
The next day was basically the same as
yesterday, and the night was uneventful.
CHAPTER FIVE: LOSING THE MAP
Joe wanted to keep going the next day, but Bob
refused. He said that the map was getting them
nowhere and that they should just wing it. Joe
didn't like that idea, but Bob grabbed the map
from him and tossed it in a nearby river. It
floated, and was gushing down the river super
fast! Joe ran to grab it, but he never could.
7
Proof Reading
Bob was laughing uncontrollably
when he caught up, and Joe was
really mad.
The river flowed
through a giant filter
in the water, and all
the non-water stuff,
like garbage, was in a
big heap at the side
of the river. Joe was about to grab the map, but
just then a garbage truck drove up and took the
heap away! Joe started chasing the truck, and
he ended up right next to the GBHQ (The
Garbage Boys Headquarters)...

Proof Reading
CHAPTER SIX: GB HEADQUARTERS
Joe knew that the only way to get to the map
was to go inside GBHQ and ask for it. And
when he went inside, the New Guy working at
the front desk graciously allowed him to go
inside the Garbage room to look. But when Joe
walked in, the door closed behind him and
LOCKED. Joe was scared, as it was pitch black
in the room, but he was brave. He lit a match,
and looked around. he didn't see the map, but he
did realize he was in the Paper Garbage room!
Don't panic just yet... Joe thought, before I
panic, I should at least find the map. So he went
looking for the map. But while he was looking,
he got careless, and the match set some paper
on fire! In exactly 00:00:01:12 (one point
twelve seconds) all the paper in the room was
on fire. Joe saw the map, grabbed it, and ran for
the door. It was still locked, and Joe was about
to give up hope.
But he noticed that by and by, the New Guy
would come in to check on Joe, not noticing the
huge fire, and then closing the door again.
9
Proof Reading
Eventually, Joe got smart and waited until the
New Guy came in, and before he had a chance
to close the door, Joe bolted through. He ran to
the exit, and burst outside! But the New Guy
was chasing him yelling something about
illegally stealing garbage, but Joe managed to
lose him by ducking behind a random grape. He
went back to Bob, and went to sleep for eighty-
four hours...
CHAPTER SEVEN: FINDING A FAKE
Joe was still sleeping when it came nighttime,
so Bob decided to go to sleep without waking
him up for bedtime.
The morning had come. Joe woke up before
Bob and grabbed the map. He tiptoed out of
camp and towards the direction on the map.
Then, finally, he found it: the legendary recipe
for the Best Pancakes Ever! Joe was so happy,
he was happy! But it was guarded by evil-
10
Proof Reading
looking lions who growled on a timer every
00:00:48 (point forty-eight) seconds. Joe was
still happy, but he was also scared and worried.
How can I get the map? What should I do? And
how? All these thoughts ran through Joe's head
at once. He had no idea. But then, he DID have
an idea! It was like a light bulb went off inside
his brain.
It was so simple! He
didn't know why he
hadn't thought of it
before. He held the
map tightly, and
jumped over the lions
with super-human
strength! Then he
grabbed the stone-
with-writing-on-it
and ran! He got all
the way back to camp
before he stopped to
look at it. Bob was
up by this point.
That's when Joe
woke up. It was
morning.

CHAPTER EIGHT: GETTING LOST
Bob and Joe set out the next morning, after
Joe told all about his crazy dream, and
Bob angrily answering that Joe wasn't up
in time to make bacon for breakfast and he
was never going to let him forget it. Joe
wanted to go on worldtravelguide.net, but
Bob refused, and exactly 00:12:04:63
(twelve minutes, four point sixty-three
seconds) later, they had fallen through a
large hole and were hopelessly lost. Bob
tried calling for help, but it was to no
avail. Joe was just angry that they were on
a pathway in the middle of a town park,
and there was a map with directions on it,
but they were in early modern English
(like Shakespeare) and they couldn't
understand it. A person would pass by
every ten or so minutes, but THEY spoke
in early modern English, too, so neither
Bob nor Joe could understand a word.
That's when Bob realized: THEY WERE
BACK IN TIME!

Bob hysterically blurted out the news to
everyone, which no one heard, since no

CHAPTER NINE: BACK IN TIME
When Bob realized that they were somehow
back in time, he squealed. "I wish I had caught
that on video!" Joe had said. Bob didn't really
know what to do when you're back in time, so
he started running around in large circles, still
squealing. Joe was smart, however, and even
though there was no Wi-Fi, he always kept an
emergency document on his phone titled, "What
to Do If You're Back in Time".
The first page of his document is featured here:

A Step-to-Step Guide on What To Do if you're ever back in time

ASK AROUND
If you're ever stranded back In time, always ask around if
anyone has ever heard of your time or perhaps has a spare
time machine that you could borrow for a small period.
#2
DON'T MOVE
If you're ever stranded back in time, the single most
IMPORTANT thing that you must always do is: don't move.
That's right, don't move a muscle. Your newfangled clothes
may attract some attention, so people have to think an artist
made a futuristic statue. Always do this, and put a nameplate
with a random guy's name on it by your feet. If you have a
pedestal, that would make things better, too. Of course, doing
this also makes it hard to do step #1, but it is better safe than
sorry. It is better to do step 2 than step 1 and 2. But do 1 if yo

Joe was thinking this was kind of useless, and
he realized he had never read it before. He was
starting to wonder about all the other
emergency documents that were on his LPhone,
when Bob suddenly stopped running around in
large circles and squealing. He thought they
should look around, and check the place out...
The first person they met was William
Shakespeare, but then, this is a fictional book.
When he saw them he immediately stopped and
said, "Holla, people. How niceth 'tis to see thee!
thee knoweth, i am thinking of mine own next play,
but i canst't bethink what it shouldst be about."
Since neither could understand it, and Joe knew
a bit about Shakespeare, he said, "Uh, Romeo
and Juliet?" Shakespeare seemed to like that,
because he said, Hmm... Romeo and Juliet, thee
say? what about?" "About two people dying at
the end." Suggested Bob. Shakespeare seemed
to like THAT, too. "Well! sounds enteresting
enough, eh, John Heminges?" "yes,
16
Proof Reading
sound plentie enteresting." his friend replied. "I
shall look ento it! thank thee, kind sirs! bye-bye!
" Shakespeare told them. Bob and Joe walked
away. "Well, THAT was an interesting
encounter." said Bob to Joe. "Do you think we'll
EVER understand him?" "No. I think
not." They both laughed, even though neither
knew why.

CHAPTER TEN: THE ZOO
Bob and Joe started walking around some more,
and they came to an old-timey zoo.
they went in. They met the zoo-keeper, who
introduced them to all thee animals. Of course,
neither could understand any of it. "This hither
is an elephant. Elephants art well-known for
their largeth ears and tusks." he said, "This is a
porcupine, well known for their spikes. As most
people knoweth, the word 'porcupine' means
'quill pig' in Latin. Whilst porcupines hast
shrewd spikes on their backs, (insert enteresting
fact hither)."

As the guy was speaking, finding it hard to
concentrate if the person was speaking in an
indecipherable language, Joe found a strange
pebble. He put it in his pocket to show Bob
later. "...As a sloth is verie slow, 'tis hard to get
around, thee must knoweth." the guy was saying.
Joe found it very hard to concentrate.
Meanwhile, Bob was enjoying himself. He had
brought along his emergency Early-Modern
English to Modern Translator, and was
understanding everything the guy said through
his translator. Joe also had one, but it was back
at home. Joe wished he had brought it. He was
not happy.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE WILD HOGS
When they left the zoo, Bob spotted a forest trail
and both decided it would be nice and relaxing.
They couldn't read the sign, so they didn't know
how many miles it was. Did that stop them? No.
They started right for it, anxious to get relaxed.
They should have known they were walking
strait into another adventure...
It proved to be a long trail. They had gone
exactly 09.8 miles when a huge adventure started
up. And they didn't even know it at the time.
Seven things came out of the forest and rushed
strait to the travelers! When they were closer,
Bob could see that they were wild boars.
20
Proof Reading
Joe was scared, but Bob knew just what to do.
he CHARGED straight at the first boar, and
pounced! The boar gave a ShRiEk of terror, and
ran away! After doing that to two more boars,
the rest gave squeals, and ran after. Bob was
proud.
Joe didn't want to admit that he totally squealed
when the boars came. But when Bob threatened
to upload a video he caught, Joe finally
admitted. Although he kind of regretted
bringing Bob on this trip... That's when he
remembered. "I've got to find that recipe!" he
shouted, darting off into the woods. He came
back three hours later, and said "Now, exactly
where is the recipe again?"he asked.

Dear diary:
After running into the boars, and
saving Joe, I felt proud. (And I was
totally kidding about uploading that
video. There wasn't YouTube in the
1600's!) But anyway, I was so proud
that I decided to treat myself to go
out to eat! Of course, there are only
so many places you can go when you're
in the middle of a deserted forest, so
me and Joe ended up in a large-ish
squirrel hole in a tree, feeding on nuts.
But hey, it was better than nothing, so

sometimes I steal Bob. Come on, I just really
need the answers to that math question.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: A (NOT) QUIET
WALK IN THE WOODS
When Joe asked the last question, Bob didn't
know. They consulted the map, and found a
note saying that if you're ever lost in time, you
should squeal. Suddenly, Bob realized that Joe
has squealed, and very loud, too. He borrowed
Joe's smartphone, and saw that it had service!
They were in the 1600s no more! Both were
happy and frolicked away.
25
Proof Reading
They decided to go for a walk in the woods,
even though they just did that 400 years ago.
But they did it anyway, and Joe was glad that
they did! Bob, however, was not so lucky.
It was quiet. Nothing was bothering them, and
they both liked that. Suddenly, the "Greasetime
Is the Best" song started playing from nowhere!
Bob had always hated that jingle, but Joe loved
it. He hummed along. The jingle went
something like this:
Chorus: Greeeeeese time is the best, oh
yeah!
Greasetime is the best, ohyeah!

Greasetime, it's world record foodyeah!
Yougottahavetheworldrecordfood -

Chorus: Greeeeeeese time is the best,

always wondered why it was recommended to
him on YouTube.

RECCOMENDED FOR YOU
Joe was dancing around happily, but
Bob was just trying to keep from
exploding. At one point, he couldn't
hold it any longer, and EXPLODED!
BOOM! All the other people in the
forest stared at him and Joe. "Um..
hi?" was all Bob could get out. It
was dead quiet. At least that
annoying jingle stopped, thought
Bob right as Joe noticed the crowd
staring at them and quickly stuffed
his pink tutu back into his pocket.
Bob ran away and Joe tagged along.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: LOOK OUT!
Once Bob had un-exploded himself (hey, it's a
comic book), Joe realized that the whole point
of the quest was to find the Perfect Pancake.
They went asking around, and finally met one
guy who said, "I heard from a guy who heard
from a guy who heard from a guy who heard
from a guy who heard from a guy who heard
from a guy who heard from a guy who heard

from a guy who heard from a guy who heard
from a guy who heard from a guy who heard
that the Recipe lives in these mountains."
Joe thanked the guy for his help, and he and
Bob started off in the direction that the man had
pointed in. When they got to the foot of the
mountain, they realized it was a lot taller then
they had thought. The guy had said that it was
(approximately) 13,803 feet. But they started to
climb. Halfway up,, Joe shouted to Bob, who
was a couple yards behind him, "LOOK OUT!"
It sounded drowed out because at that moment
a huge boulder came tumbling down and took
Joe w ith it!

Somehow, Joe was
not hurt when he
almost fell to his

Tuesday, March 31
Joe fell off of a
mountain today.
Luckily, he was not
hurt. But when it
happened, I was
scared to death! Of
course, I'm never
going to admit that.

RECIPE?
When Joe FINALLY got on top of the
mountain, Bob was there and had been for
approximately 02:45:28.57 (two hours, forty-
five minutes, and twenty-eight point fifty-seven
seconds) They both started looking around. And
what did they see? A stone tablet with what
looked like writing carved on it! Joe rushed over
and quickly grabbed the tablet. Quick enough,
he thought, that he would be out of reach of
lions, tigers, and bears, oh my. He grabbed Bob,
and ran right off the edge of the mountain! Both
landed unhurt on the bouncy pads. Only then
did Joe take time to look at the stone tablet. And
when he did, this is what he saw:

guy who could tell them where the Perfect
Pancake recipe was. On the following
Tuesday, they went. The professor granted
them complete access to his office once they
bought $20,000,000 tickets. The professor
(whose name was Prof. Reynolds) sat them
down to talk. At first they talked about
normal things, like life, but in the middle of it
all Joe felt drowsey. Bob did too, and they fell
asleep in their chairs with out warning. "

went out of the room returning minutes later
with a sinister device: A DISINTEGRA TER!
One of the very simple handheld devices, The
Disintegrater (Made By Nosy & Hogs Inc.)
would disintegrate anything into a heap of
ashes! The professor loaded it... aimed... and
suddenly the professors walrus dashed into the
room and threw itself out to protect Bob & Joe
right as the professor fired! "Welp, that's the end
of that." sighed the professor. He moved his
walrus out of the way and aimed... and FIRED!
Only, The Disintegrater didn't fire! Professor
Reynolds realized it wasn't loaded. While
searching around for disintegrate-ets (the kind
of bullets The Disintegrater used) Bob woke up.
His cow senses had warned him of danger.

grabbed Joe and leaped out the window! Prof.
Reynolds didn't realize until they had landed

was always talking about his cow smarts. He
said he had lots of different kinds. In fact, Joe
wrote a short pamphlet on this, which he
published as "A Cow and His Cow Smarts: How

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: THE FACTS
Joe and Bob had, in this entire book, not
realized the facts and were, as usual, just going
wherever and goofing off. It was not until the
time that Bob was digging through his pack
and found a pamphlet the Queen of England
had written and given to them. It stated all the
facts of the case:
Bob shall now write
and explain the facts
of the Perfect
Pancake.
FACT #1
Since i've now
realized the
facts,
i'll explain them to you: Fact #1: the
queen wants pancakes. Fact #2: queen
person III wants pancakes. Fact #3: the
queen of England wants pancakes.
These were all of the facts in the
book, except for Fact #4: get the
41

pancakes or else.
As you may have imagined, the four "facts"
didn't really give them a lead. But they were
determined to succeed and to not give up.
They decided to keep looking for the recipe,
and on one tough day of looking that was hot
and humid, they found something interesting.
"How convenient." groaned Joe.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: MOUNTAIN #2
As this was the second mountain that Bob and
Joe had had to climb on The Quest, neither were
very excited for it. Hovever, they did, and it
proved not to be as tall as the first one. Their
only problem was it was 6n 567x574=4556789
times harder to climb than the other one. TWO
SECONDS after they had started, they started
back down. But before they reached the ground,
Bob started back up. He knew that they needed
that recipe, and he somehow got to the top.
There he found a note:
Congrats! Your next
scavenger hunt note is
there. Where is there?
It's in your hair.
Wondering about that, Bob reached into his
hair, and found another sticky note.
43

Congrats, you found
this note! Next, you'll
find a wandering goat.
Bob looked
around and found
a goat wandering
around with a
sticky note

Congrats, congrats, the
recipe! You'll find your
next note up in the
treeeeeee!
Looking around,
Bob saw a tree. He
saw a note up
high, and climbed
to get it.
Your recipe is in the
dust. Or maybe the
brush, or it'll grow a
tusk!
Bob looked again,
but saw no dust.
Though he saw
some brush! It
was by the other
end of the small
mountain.

Bob went to look, and sure enough, with a
plastic tusk taped on to it, was the recipe for the
Perfect Pancake! In big bold carved letters
written on a large stone tablet, had the very
recipe that they had been seeking for the past
month! He fell down the mountain to tell Joe.
When Bob reached the bottom, he told Joe all
about the notes and finding the recipe. At the
end, Joe said, "But where's the recipe?" Bob
had left it on the mountain and had to retrieve
it. When Joe got it, he jumped in his cart with
Bob and the recipe and started for home! At
least, he tried to. It was a shopping cart, not a
golf cart or go cart. Joe quickly traded it for a
go cart with a person that didn't know the
difference and they were off! They
zooooooooomed back through all their
adventures along the way: meeting William
Shakespeare, starting Bob & Co, the first
mountain, the crazy Professor Reynolds, and
everything and everyone else. As they pulled up
to the Queen's palace, her maid came out to
greet them.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: THE ENDING
The Queens maid came out to greet them and
immediately took the recipe to the kitchen to
whip up a batch of Perfect Pancakes, as she
later called them. Bob and Joe went into the
Queen's Room to congratulate her on being able
to eat Perfect Pancakes, but as soon as they got
the door open, they were whisked back by a
gust of wind,
back to America, back to their house. Bob and
Joe were at home with the familliar walls of
their house all around t hem.

Bob sighed. Joe sighed. It seemed like only a
dream, but they knew it was real. "(sigh...)
Home sweet home" sighed Joe. "Yes," replied
Bob, happy, "now let's go get a pizza!"
